October, 2001 Version of the Cable Car Home Page

I just put the October, 2001 version of my Cable Car Home Page on the
server:
http://www.geocities.com/cable_car_guy/cablecar.html

I'm going back to monthly updates.

It includes some new items:
1. Cable Trams in the UK: The Glasgow District Subway, the only
Hallidie-type subway in the world. Also a brief article about Liverpool
United's one-day experimental installation.
2. The Picture of the Month is a set of retired Glasgow Subway cars,
originally cable-operated, by Geoff Cryer.
3. New Page: Miscellany: Selected articles from "Manufacturer and Builder
Magazine" (1890-1899) about the early cable railway industry. I especially
enjoyed the one about the Cleveland City Cable Railway, which has a great
picture of its powerhouse.
4. Updated the San Francisco page. Added more photos of the Fillmore Hill
Counterbalance, the Telegraph Hill Railroad, and the California/Powell
signal tower.
5. Updated the Other California Cities and Los Angeles Area Funiculars
pages. Thumbnailed the images and added images of the Second Street Cable
Railway and Knott's Berry Farm cable cars.
6. Bob Murphy provided photographs of the North Melbourne Winding House,
which I added to the Melbourne article.
7. Reorganized the newspaper section of the Bibliography by subject.

I have links to the new items directly from the What's New section on the
main page.

Don't forget October 3 is the 50th anniversary of Bobby Thomson's "shot
heard round the world".

I also updated my ferryboat site with several former SF boats that still
sail on Puget Sound and some recent photos I took in Sausalito and at Pac
Bell Park.

Coming in November, 2001: The 5th anniversary of my cable car site.
Also an 1894 article: "The Cable Street-Railway".

Joe Thompson
